Safeguarding
Pamphill First School is committed to the safeguarding and welfare of children both inside and outside of the premises, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment to maintain a safe and vigilant environment. We implement a whole-school preventative approach to managing safeguarding concerns, ensuring that the wellbeing of pupils is at the forefront of all action taken. It is our willingness to work safely and challenge inappropriate behaviour that underpins this commitment.
The Designated Safeguarding Leader is Mike Wheeler and our Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead is Alison Pinto (Stags teacher).
All members of our Safeguarding Team have had specialist training in Safeguarding and Child Protection. All staff at Pamphill First School are trained in Safeguarding Children, have regular Safeguarding training and understand their role in protecting children.
